    Default Why are British women called Birds?

    WIFE says that one theory is that women tend to chirp on in such a way that men know that we can ignore everything they say for at least the next five minutes.




    WHATSAYU?

    It's a slang term, like "babe", "chick" or "side piece".

    You're welcome brain freeze.

    Oh. Was I wasting "your time". I am so sorry. I see you're busy trying to ruin people's night, I'll let you get back to it.



    Here you go, by the way. I'll Google for ya:

    "As early as 1300, bird was used for ‘girl’, but this was probably owing to confusion with another similar middle English word, burde, which also meant ‘young woman’. The usage crops up from time to time in later centuries, clearly as an independent metaphorical application, but there does not really seem to be an unbroken chain of occurrences leading up to the sudden explosion in the use of bird for ‘young woman’ in the 20th century.

    I watched The Quiet Man tonight and they were handing Sean Thornton sticks to beat his wife Mary Kate. That won't fly today even though Desh needs a spanking.

    Figuring out the best of the women was the best decision I ever made.

    It is actually possible!
